Such debate should be on TV. It's healthy and democratic talks and carry messages for public of the truth behind the judicial systems in India.

Best debate we never come a cross. God bless all the participants.

This is called a meaningful discussion which I would like my children to listen and understand the politics not what present media is showing.

Meaningful discussion . In case of appointment of judges of the Supreme Court and the High Courts, there must be full time Independent Committee free from incumbent executives ,incumbent justices and political parties. In the matter of post retirement assignment of judges there must be cooling off period of atleast 5 yrs. .

Sachin pilot Rahul Gandhi Varun Gandhi Sasi tharur Kapil sibal DK Shivkumar Revand Reddy Priyanka Gandhi Jairam Ramesh.... Great mindedness.. Great personality. No hate speech... humanly gentle man. Love to see them rulling India 🎉🎉❤ Listening to their interviews always been a joy.. inclusive politics.. ❤

Excellent programme and very intellectual conversation. All of you are doing yeoman service for the Indian public. Unfortunately Honble Apex Court has delayed taking up important cases on priority like Ayodhya , section 370 and Electoral Bonds.

I strongly believe this was the most fruitful and intellectual conversation I have seen ever. Hats off.

Very nice discussion regarding the judiciary by top intellectual lawyers . Just like us lawyers get valuable thoughts. Thanks.

Salute to These courageous personalities keep it up. God bless you. From Kenya.

Excellent debate. Honest views. Sad state of Indian judiciary more since 2014. Raj Canada

Good conversation by honourable advocates of the supreme court of India as great thinker for democracy and judiciary

Lot of debates like this should be conducted throughout the country regarding established independent National judicial academy appointment should be transparent merit on basis from lower court to apex court 2) new courts establishment on population ratio 3) discover easy way to common man go to higher courts or facilitate technology to the rural area people filing cases in higher courts 4) court experience must be considered in appointing judicial posts even for small courts also 5) in all court premises lawyers chambers must be established

We need these kind of programs more often. This will definitely educate the common man.

Excellent💯👍👏💯👍👏 program the issues were raised are real which have the deep concerns about the future of judiciary system and in what manners it can affect the future of indian democracy

Quite a few high courts are really of no use these days because of some judges uncontrollable inclination towards certain political parties!

it is so soul satisfying to watch stalwarts like themselves, discussing the fault lines and seemingly worried about it. as long as they are there we are still in the fight, to me they are the last bastion standing.

The live law did a great job to Judiciary by the conversation and salute to all the stalwarts of legal field.

This is the assurance that we have intellectual people in India who love our country . May God use you all as a mighty instrument . Salute for this initiative.

Great souls great subject and great exchanges❤

Really great conversation . Respect & Hats of to you all. 🙏

Highly objective and frank interaction among our top people. It's not only the judiciary but the bar as well that has to be fiercely independent in order to save and uphold the Rule of Law. They would have to rise above purely personal gains.

Mr Bhushan ur an asset to India. People will know ur value one day. Thank you sir. Mr Sibal too

Very good conversation I wish from this kind of discussions our news media could learn something Thanks to Kapil sibbal sir for initiating this Best of luck !

Revered Great lawyers you are doing a great job To save the constitution,you are doing your job boldly without any fear country solutes you Sir,

They are top legal minds in India , iam proud of them

Great to listen such enlightening conversation and thanks to all advocates for conducting such show the problems in the democracy at any aspect is not always due to the systemic problems but also due to the lack of ethical values and knowledge and The end of democracy is not possible unless its citizens are satisfied with living in an undemocratic environment, hence citizens should demand free and fair institutions from their elected government as the first priority to save democracy.

salute to your vision and wisdom, what I could see there is no genuine views collaboration with the superior authorities of Supreme court.. It was a very impressive meeting by the Hon,able lawyers of the supreme court .May god bless them with courage to stand up for the right cause and provide the justice to save the Indian constitution ad democracy of Indi🙏🙏a

thank you sir hats off intellectual talks it is unfortunate to see some MP did not speak relevant problems concern states knowledge of subjects political parties select dynamic personalities as MP

Courage...... It is a fuel for living democratic country.

Super insights given. I can understand what will happen if the correct action before time.

I absolutely agree with whatever they're saying. But when I heard sibal say the government shall not have any say in the appointment of judges... It was a 1000 deaths of Irony.

Excellent reviews and knowledge to the highest core dear Adv Kapil sibal and team.....i want this relayed on every Indian languages that common man is concetised.....come with more episodes Sir.❤😊

These eminent advocates should also talk about the huge number of pending cases and everlasting resolution. Because of this delay in judicial process we have totally lost the confidence in judiciary as it gives preference to the cases of elites and rich people.

In 54 years of Congress rule, I wonder what Congress party might have done to Judiciary when even media was not free in those times (mainstream is not free even now), if this much harm BJP can do in just 10 years of continous rule. Democracy is a myth just as privacy is in present digital age.

Omg , what’s going on in judiciary,we are believing up to now that, people will get a justice at last in judiciary body 😢 Thank you for bringing

We need more discussions like these...great work.

Great conversation.. rightly pointed out the current affairs.. This practice will kill our judiciary even if the president government is changed.. cooling period is a good option atleast

Since judges get benefits from govt even after retirement , they may not be allowed any post under govt . After 5 years of cooling period they go for any post under govt but after surrendering all benefits being taken by them. I m not judicial person but from audit background.

Wow what a wonderfully enlightening discussion. This current saffron sanghi savarkar mentality wave has taken Indian discourse/debate/discussions back to the stone age apes. Glad to see that still there is some sense prevailing.

You are right Dushantji constitutional fathers never imagined our leaders will go so mean.

Good decision. Good reporting .

A new law is required to keep the principles of neutrality, impartiality and dignity of judiciary for function ing healthy democracy in our country. Actually it is worrisome, that our judiciary going to lost its dignity. So, God save the Supreme Court had to written by Justice F. S. Nariman.

Term of the govt. No judge can retire and join the ruling party, good point on discussion

COLLEGIUM SYSTEM IS NOT AT ALL GOOD BUT IT IS MORE INDEPENDENT THAN IF THE APPOINTMENT WERE WITH THE GOVERNMENT ❤agree with Prashant Bhushan

This is very much needed talk

I believe the collegium, bar councils, and civil society should have discussions and set a high bar of both morality and submission to the Constitution along with yearly transparent service review based on the judgments decided, withheld or kept pending/reserved for weeks and months.

❤these conversations. Thank you.

Thank you for this conversation 🙏

Very good initiative by Sri kapil sibal

I believe that in the arena of politico-legal conglomerations at the highest levels there shall be some high level blue eyed legal fraternity in each Political Party favouring each other. And there would be no surprise that such high level judicial level quid pro quo connections prevail in the Congress Party also. Such a discussion of that nature may also be telecasted please, if any.

देश के लिए दुर्भाग्य कि जज जातिवादी भी है और पार्टीवादी भी है संप्रदायिक भी है ।उनक बहुत सारे फैसलो से झलकता है।

God bless you with long lives.

Great people in these tumultuous time

Considering Mr Dave's opening remarks..why wud POLITICAL paties entertain any judge in the first place unless they give biased judgement in favour of the political parties

Wonderful discussion

Surrender Yadav the judge decided Babri demolition criminal case given Additional Lokal by UP Government.

Character building and character assessment at all levels of education and proper evaluation and using proper weightage for future career is something which we totallly lack at primary levels.

Lawyers always proven as vigilant citizen .🙏

Hats off intellectuals ❤

Live Law must have citizens also on debates.

Excellent views ❤❤❤❤

This discussion must be on the TV. Any Judge who joins party in one year after retiring must go to jail, this guys are not true judge, but cannot given this type of judges

Good conversations long live

💯💯

Dave Sir is right!!!!

wow gaint judges. salute to you all

Good discussions, analysis and opinions. With what little knowledge I have about politics and judiciary, l feel the discussion would have been better if you had included two other personalities of different features, this team is a group of birds with the same feature which will naturally flock together. Hope you do this in your next discussion, to make it more fruitful.

Too good👍

Mr. Sibbal is absolutely correct

vede vede jayate tatwa siddhi -With debate and discussion we can find the truth.Jai hind 🇮🇳🚩

So called intelligent seniors advocates.

Nobody , neither Government nor Judiciary and section of lawyers are least bothered about the reform of the judiciary system. In the present judiciary system the people do not get right justice in right time. In the present judiciary system the people are suffering serious hardships during the time of proceedings of the case in the court hopelessly.

Really enjoyed it.

Common man does not know about the Functioning of judiciary, only bar Association should raise to the occasion and do guide.

Sir I selute to all of you

What about the guys employing plum posts under Congress.

As a lawyer I am sorry to say that judicial officers inclination with political parties are dangerous to our democracy

Meenakshi nailed the fundamental issue. We have become a value-degraded society - a self-centric society, and so everything is up for grabs in the name of being 'successful'. The rot has to change right from our homes and school. We need to inspire our young minds to be fearless and push for values one cherishes as opposed to being cowered in fear all the time.

Yani ki soocho !! Agar Kapil Sibbal or Manu Singhavi agar CJI bana diye jate to kya hota????

just because judgment is not in your favor it cannot be construed as biased and quid pro quo ...this notion iteslf compromises independence of judiciary.

Whatever opinion learner d law practitioners have but one thing is sure ultimately IT IS A MAN WHO MATTER

All India judicial exam should be conducted where directly district judge should be selected.only those judges should be promoted to be elligible for high court and Supreme Court judge.merit should prevail

To, All Respected Senior Advocates in this conversation ; I, Nilesh Chauhan, was serving as a Judicial Magistrate First Class in the year 2013, at that time after some incidents, I started a campaign for the implementation of the judgment of "Ex-Captain Harish Uppal vs. Union of India & Anr"., but Hon’ble Gujarat High Court had suspended me and after unfair departmental inquiry, I was dismissed, my dismissal was confirmed by Hon’ble Gujarat High Court on judicial ground and by Hon’ble Supreme Court. I need your help for review application. Please help me...!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Jai Hind

This development is expected since of late the top court has observed ( recent TAMILNADU CASE )that being a sympathizer of a political party is not a disqualification for the post of judgeship. Please remember today's politics is not the one we saw in 60's.

You eminent lawyers efforts may save the polarising present scenario in the country.

Abhijit gangopadhyay probably coerced to join party , such pity state for judges too .

Topic is more serious than it digest , because person seating on Judge seat and delivering judgment under expectation of reward from ruling government can not able to give right judgment and which case damage to victim is not repairable so what is difference between corrupt police and this kind of judges

Sir What is your take on the "Advocates"Protection Act" ?

Apart from the criteria of eligibility, as a concern citizen, i think the best way forward are: to ban judges from any post retirement office including rajya sabha seat, independent judicial committee to review the performance of judges of SC as well as HC before appointed him as a judge, and remove the law minister from the collegium system..

In Rajasthan many judges have been attending the functions of the legal department of बीजेपी. Akhil bhartiya अधिवक्ता parishad. Legal department of congress has never invited the judges in it's functions as it would be very unfair to the judges.

a common man hasn't had interest to approach his nearest court of law because of delay of justice, pendence of cases decades of year How can overcome this problem? LOKADALAT would solve this problem. In lower courts there are nothing for publicminimum facilities. No court or government look into this problem.

A bunch of traitors ,some alleged

Discussion was started with former justice of Calcutta High Court, Gangopadhyaya; resigning and within 48 hours joining the ruling party: Can we say it is like Campus Recruitment

This discussion would have been democratic if there was someone from the other side also participating

meenakshi...u r right character building, values are missing...

Very good to listen to some hope for the better future for our country. No one should be appointed for at least for five years after retirement. The retirement age should be increased for Supreme Court at least on the lines of USA/ or upto 70 years. Retirement at 60/ 65 yrs. is making many Govt. Employees for seeking alternative jobs. Nowadays people can work for 70 yrs. due to better health. In the training at the time of recruitment the moral values and ideals specially the aspect of Dharma should be stressed. I had seen it vibrant in the villages at the time of Independence. 'Sathyameva Jayathe', was inscribed in our National Emblem. The educational system and the elders should think and develop "Healthy Public Opinion", which Gandhiji effectively used. The public awareness in this bonds case should be an eye opener and it should be continued for the betterment of public life and the image of our great country with great cultural heritage. I hope and wish people like you will continue the public debate developed at this time.

Very useful debate.but my question with due respect is only bjp? A list of full of members in many parties.starting from seniority diluted for next cji in Indira resim.what about mr bhushan? Regards Regards

Before commenting upon the judges of the present time, these legal luminaries should also discuss about the history of Hon'ble Mr Justice Bahrul Islam on Wikipedia.

Excellent discussions!
